Photos of Ilulissat adventures

Most of our guests at Hotel Arctic arrive by air from Copenhagen or Reykjavik, while some arrive by sea. We pick you up at the airport or port as a complimentary service. The passenger ship ‘Sarfaq Ittuk’ calls the towns at the west coast of Greenland in a weekly schedule, Ilulissat every Sunday.

The sound is incredible, too. (Photo: Leif Taurer – Visit Greenland)The Eqi glacier is located 80 kilometers north of Ilulissat – just a few hours by boat. However you my want to stay overnight in Glacier Lodge Eqi to experience the colours of the ice in the midnight sun.
